Iran is playing a very, very stupid game in the seizure of British forces in Iraqi waters. “At approximately 1030 Iraqi time this morning, 15 British naval personnel, engaged in routine boarding operations of merchant shipping in Iraqi territorial waters … were seized by Iranian naval vessels,” the ministry said in a statement.

The Great Wizard of Kos himself penned a pathetic rationalization on why a Bill that fully funds the war, has no binding control on next year’s budget and efforts (that comes later this summer) and has benchmarks that only need to show ‘progress’ (whatever that is) is actually good.
